To maintain high-quality open access publishing and provide free access to readers, EQUILIBRIUM: Journal of Economics and Development Studies applies an Article Processing Charge (APC) for all articles accepted for publication. This charge supports critical publishing services including:

• Professional peer-review management

• Journal production (copyediting, typesetting, and formatting)

• Online hosting and digital preservation

• Long-term archiving and DOI registration

Payment Policy:

• The APC is billed only after the manuscript receives final acceptance

• Payment of the APC is required before the article is published

• The peer review process is independent of APC payment and will not be affected by payment status

Current APC Rate (Effective January 1, 2024):

• All authors: IDR 200,000.00

Important Notes:

• The submitting author is responsible for organizing the APC payment upon acceptance

• Authors are encouraged to secure funding for potential APC costs before submission

• APC rates are subject to change at the publisher's discretion

Funding Assistance:
Authors from low and lower-middle-income countries (as classified by the World Bank) may qualify for APC waivers or discounts. Please contact the editorial office for more information.
